"The Earth is a dynamic system. Internal processes, together with external gravitational forces of the Sun, Moon and planets, displace the Earth's mass, impacting on its shape, rotation and gravitational field. Doug Smylie provides a rigorous overview of the dynamical behaviour of the solid Earth, explaining the theory and presenting methods for numerical implementation. Topics include advanced digital analysis, earthquake displacement fields, Free...

Description
"Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic and anelastic seismic tomography; electromagnetic and magnetotelluric methods; thermal, gravity and rheological models), complemented by petrologic and laboratory data on rock properties. It also provides a critical discussion of the uncertainties, assumptions, and resolution...

"Landscape-the unique combination of landforms, plants, animals, and weather that compose any natural place-is inherently transient. Each essay in Transient landscapes, Wohl introduces this idea of an ever-shifting, ever-transitioning global landscape, revealing how to see the ubiquity of landscape transience, both that which results through the earth's natural environmental and climatological process and which comes from human intervention"--
